Went to MADCHEF and MUNCHIES REPUBLIC today. Already there are so many reviews here on MADCHEF, so aint gonna rate that. Also i dont want to rate any of these 2 cart. No rating on numeric figures but in verbal rating. We tried the Tandooi Chicken Burger from MADCHEF and Ultimate Burger with Hot Spicy Chicken Patty from MUNCHIES REPUBLIC. Both of the Burgers were good! I rate it GOOD!
Not gonna say BEST yet as i didnt tried so many burgers from different
carts. You people will love it for sure. There are options on both carts
for extra toppings. Price of the Tandoori Chicken burger is 160 taka
each and Ultimate Burger is 200 taka each. Must have to admit,
bacon entirely changes the taste of the burger to a whole new level. So
Burger with the bacon is recommended. Most of the pics are from Munchies Republic and 1 is from Madchef. ADDED THE GOOGLEMAP PICTURE REFERENCE FOR THE INTERESTED PEOPLE!

Because eating is what I'm best at!
1st Picture:
Clockwise Direction: Calamari Rings, Nasi Goreng, Kampi Goreng, Black-peppered chicken sizzle
Place: Urban Spice
Review: Firstly I'll start off with the Calamari Rings. These were
pretty good actually, the meat itself was very tender but the only
drawback here was the breading, I'd liked it if it was a tad crunchier
and if they served a wedge of lemon or two. Rating: 8/10
The Nasi Goreng Rice was an Inodenisian interpretation of our regular
"Bangladeshi-Chinese Fried Rice" and it was accompanied with a side of
two satays, a crack of some sort and a sunny-side up. It was pretty good
but it did lack a bit of punch and the nuttiness at some stages did
overpower the art of the spices. Rating 7/10 Next up was the Kampi
Goreng, which happened to be an Indonesian noodles of some sort, but
this tasted divine. This had the perfect amount of spice, sweetness,
tanginess and saltiness to it, all in all, it had the perfect Umami
flavour to it. Rating: 9/10 The last dish was the Pepper chicken
sizzle which was the best dish amongst the lot. This was terrific. It
had a handful of bell peppers and onions stir-fried into it and it was
ahh-mazing. It had that evil kick at the back of your throat every time
you take a bite of it but boy oh boy was it delicious! Rating: 9.5/10 The total bill was 1300-ish or sth like that

To gulp down a heap of khabar, no normal dessert would do. Thus, Khusbu
was the perfect place for it. They make Taiwanese desserts that are
hands down the best of its kind in Dhaka. I had the Strawberry-Raspberry
mash snow ice and it was heavenly. I don't exactly remember the
toppings but all I remember is that it was a perfect combination. Oh,
and NEVER EVER order the large bowl, you'll need a large posse to
conquer that. All in all, this was the best dessert I've had in quite
some time. Rating: 11/10
Price: 200tk‪

So let's walk through. The cart opens at around 4:45-5 PM and since I
was early and had nothing to do, I watched them set up. It was a rainy
day and the street was muddy. Sat Masjid Road has many buses passing by
as well which makes it kinda uncomfortable. Then I watched them take out
the cutting boards and wash them on the muddy street. The sidekick
actually dropped ''the burger'' spatula on the mud (yuck!) after which
the main dude gave him a scolding.
I ordered 2 Mexican BBQ Cheese
burgers and a Special burger. The ingredients they use were of premium
quality, I noticed most of their shopping was done from meena bazaar or
some superstore. That was a bit comforting and surprising.
The
Cheese Burger at 120tk regardless of the price, a great burger. It is
quite juicy and packed full of flavours! The patty did have the awesome
BBQ and grill flavour to it. They also gave pickles along with fresh
tomato and onion.
The Special Burger at 150tk was a bit of a
disappointment. In their menu it clearly said it had an egg in it. But
the guy did not give any egg. After asking him why, he was like you get
half of an egg per burger so only if you order 2 Special Burgers or if
someone has a Special Burger on order at the same time, I can divide one
egg and share it. So he gave me mushrooms instead. I got another cheese
burger with mushrooms.
Math Time!
Cheese Burger + Mushroom = 120 + 20 = 140tk
''Special'' Burger = 150tk for the same thing lol.
I don't mind 10tk but that is not how you take money from customers. I'd rather give it to the poor and needy than be tricked.
Final Verdict: On a dry day I'd definitely order through Hungrynaki.
And better you add your add-on individually so you know what you're
gonna get. Apart from the misunderstanding I do think the burgers were
fantastic! And yeah definitely the bang for your buck factor! Price just
makes it beyond worth it. The burger saved the day! My request to them
would be to improve on their hygiene (maybe change the sidekick) and
hope I get my egg another day.
Cheers Peeps.

environment seemed good enough and servers were nice too but weren't trained well. we went their based on a review my fnds Jihan n Badhon
had and the servers even specifically told us dat they hav a chef with
35 years or experience. when d food came in d first thing we thought
that we shud hav had breakfast ! and after we were finished eating we
were literally about to vomit our tummies out. it was one of d worst
experiences we ever had. their mixture of food items had no sense at all
! with khichuri they added crispy fried potatoes ! in d picture there
is a piece of gravy chicken bt they provide dim bhuna, and any curry u
wil hav to buy. their curries are worth of 275 & 295 but it's not
even 2:1 ! kala bhuna je atto dry hoite pare i never knew, chicken er
piece o je atto choto hote pare na dekhle believe kortam nah !
anyway long story short, we wud hav let it go coz evry now n then u wil
hav a worst day bt their pricing den amazed us d most ! just a
suggestion for food lovers: DO NOT TRY IT WHEN U R HUNGRY and by hungry i
mean NEVER !!

A long time ago...but not very long..
There was this baby-girl who was maybe 2 or 3 years old.
So her Parents took her to a place just to chill out.
It was a nice place as there was a little field. Grasses everywhere.
Her parent's let her play around the grass..
the baby was really happy to see a green view as it was a rear scene in the city.
She pulled out some grasses and played with it.
Mostly she was crawling around. From here to there.
Her parents were talking and laughing almost forgot that their baby was a bit far away from them..
After a while they noticed that their baby was quite far away and she wasn't moving.
Her parents got worried and they went to check it out..
you won't believe what they saw..
The baby fell asleep while pulling out the grass.. and she was practically sleeping on the grass in that position.

Hilarious ? right ?

Yeah i laughed out really loud after listening to this story. & hey! this story is true!
Maybe the grass made her sleep! hahaha..sleeping on the grass..

Breakfast of Barisal
Apart from photography, food is my
another passion. I try to find out local traditional cuisine when I
travel out of Dhaka. This particular food is slightly different than
your usual taste bud. Sweet doi(curd) produced from cows milk without
mixing powder milk tastes more traditional, when you eat it fresh and
still warm, it just feels like heaven.
If you visit this shop called “Dodhi Ghor”, opposite of “Lechu Shah Mazar” in Barisal Sadar early in the morning
around 8pm, please ask them to serve warm doi, not the cold one from
fridge. You will taste silky-smooth-soft-not-too-sweet Mishit Doi in a
traditional kasha(bronze) plate which will melt in your mouth literally.
They cut the doi with oyster shell without touching it with spoon. You
can add sweet muri, chira, bit of ghol, banana & my own mix little
bit of butter.

However,
once the curd cools down or kept in fridge, it loses its wow factor. So,
when you are in Barisal, make sure u go there early in the morning.
Price is reasonable, 1 kilo is around 150tk may be, doi chira option is probably 20 or 30tk.
My rating 9/10
